That's probably because you are a heterosexual man.
That's part of the problem here. This was a party, a social event, that included dancing. If the majority of the attendees to the conference are men (because it is a male dominated industry), what are you expecting them to do, dance with other men? No one is going to want to go to a party with such a skewed gender balance. It's the same reason bars don't charge women cover quite often.
If things were better in the real world then we wouldn't have as many young black men being shot down in the streets for, apparently, just being young black men. Comparatively speaking, a fictional character like Jack Bauer is closer to the ideal than reality.
You don't know the real motivations of those cops gunning down those African Americans, you're just assuming there's some racist reason behind it. They may be under the (false) idea they they really are "getting the bad guys". Like I said, to the "bad cop" he knows who the perp is. He knows. If only he wasn't being stopped by his gumshoe partner and the Chief, he could get that scumbag and make lives a little easier for the good people of this city.
Jack Bauer is just the bad cop who happens (for plot reasons) to not be wrong, and he has a bunch of comrades on the force who let him do what he does. Rarely does that ever come out the same way in real life. The real Jack Bower would have lost his jobs years ago thanks to an Internal Affairs investigation or lawsuits from him harassing the wrong people.
At least Jack Bauer was actually trying to save people's lives and prevent actual terrorism from happening, not just grabbing power.
You're kinda missing the point. That what all bad cop types think they are doing.
The justice system, and the courts in particular, exist because sometimes the person really is innocent. Jack Bauer is sure he knows how the real criminal is and (I'm assuming) is right. But there are lots of other types that are simply wrong. That person they are sure is a terrorist/pedophile/killer/etc is not the man they want. Rights and trial-by-your-peers exist so people are not held accountable for crime they didn't commit by some manic with a badge who thinks red tape only exists to make his job harder. No, it's to make sure he does his job right and his procedure itself doesn't become a form of punishment.
FairPlay is just hanging around for the people who never updated their old DRM-ed music files.
Or can't? I have files that are not available as a free iTunes+ upgraded version due to being released as promotional albums before. One is a song from a band that is literally no longer on the store. I still have my one 128 kbps AAC track, though. I guess Apple's arrangement with the label they are on ended so I can't even buy a replacement copy.
If you're so serious about the user being in control, put your money where you mouth is and release an uninstall tool to stop the "Get Windows 10" icon in the System Tray (rather than us having to use a third-party software) and stop adding Windows 10 as a "recommended update" (regardless of whether it runs on it's own or not) so it quits downloading gigabytes of data before the customer consents to the upgrade.
I have a Windows 8.1 tablet and would really like to get HERE maps for it, as I hear it has good offline use support. I want something I can use to view maps when I'm pulled over on the road and have no data access. I can't locate an alternate download source for it. It got pulled from the Windows Store before I got the tablet. The Bing maps for Windows 10 has offline saving capability, but the Maps for Windows 8 does not have this feature.
Why is that an obvious question? Why wouldn't it stop at stop signs?
Because many human cyclists don't. They wanna drive on the street but not obey the rules of the road. Then, they play the pedestrian card if they get in an accident with a car, ignoring the laws of physics that say a two ton vehicle can't go from 30 mph to 0 under 50 feet.
Hackers have breached DDoS protection firm Staminus, a US-based company that offers protection against a range of network security attacks including, well, DDoS.
Well... wouldn't it make sense that a DDoS protection firm would offer protection against DDoS? Unless the story here is the hackers took them down with a DDoS this sentence doesn't say as much as the author was hoping. So far it looks like a plain network intrusion case.
This is the Information Superhighway 2.0, where everything is toll roads. You're supposed to go "Hey Google, what's a PCI DSS assessment?" to your smartphone instead of using that archaic mouse to click a link to an actual authority of the topic.
Wondering if the channels are all still encrypted, requiring separate fees per-TV for a cable converter, or if Canada was wise enough to mandate they be ClearQAM or something else so people can just connect their set and watch.
Why would someone let your employer monitor YOUR iphone?
The employer may require it as a condition of letting you attach your device to their network. You don't have to let them monitor your phone but they don't have to let you access their network with it either.
Yup. Bring Your Own Device is just corporate new-speak for "externalizing equipment costs to our employees".
"Common sense" is another phrase for "knowledge it's assumed everyone has". You're overestimating the intelligence of people -- even those in jobs posh enough where the company gives you a cell phone.
Representative Darrell Issa, a California Republican and former car-alarm entrepreneur...
I'm assuming there's a lot more to him. Because reading sentences like that makes me think California gets too many congressional seats if they give them to people who seem to have so little background in law or government.

WTF is DASH? Or Chumby?
Following the link leads me to believe it's like a Palm Audrey 2.0?
What's a Palm Audrey 2.0?

Because I don't want the Microsoft spyware???
I think that both Democrats and Republicans alike would agree that drilling for more oil now in the middle of a supply glut is a bad idea.
Keeping the glut going keeps gas princes low.
That gets votes, even though the two are not related really.

I didn't write that to be mathematically accurate. Way to miss the point.
Using that logic, why have stop signs in residential neighborhoods at all?
Why is that an obvious question?
Why wouldn't it stop at stop signs?
Because many human cyclists don't.
They wanna drive on the street but not obey the rules of the road. Then, they play the pedestrian card if they get in an accident with a car, ignoring the laws of physics that say a two ton vehicle can't go from 30 mph to 0 under 50 feet.
Of course, the obvious question is: Will the bike stop at stop signs?
That depends, is its goal as a self-driving vehicle to imitate a self-driving car, or move like a human is controlling it?
Already "Out of stock" on the WD website :(
I heard they only produced three of them, and gave up right after starting the fourth.

It should have been caught in testing, but of course someone wanted to save money and then it's testing that gets shaved first.
You mean like it says in TFS?
I got first post!
A virtual reality Amazon brick-and-mortar store to walk around and shop in -- making the circle complete!

Now the ransomware's certificate is revoked, I guess there is no hope to pay the crooks and recover the data?
Macrumors reports there was a three-day delay before the lockout would take effect. So most people haven't been caught by it yet.
San Bernardino D.A. admitted he made the whole thing up.
Are you sure? "Cyber Pathogen" sounds like one of those fictional words I hear on C.S.I., I doubt he came up with that nonsense on his own.
